Sea slugs can “steal weapons” from another creature – hydroid. Hydroid looks like seaweed, but it’s actually a relative of jellyfish that’s covered in venomous stingers. When a sea slug feels threatened, it deploys these stingers to the enemy.

The official synopsis of the show reads: “Timelapse photography shows how the landscape changes over a year, while stories follow individual animals like red squirrels gathering nuts, Herdwick sheep raising their young and grey seals gathering on the coastline. It is a beautiful film offering a new perspective on the interdependent relationships between the landscape, the wildlife and the people who make their living from the land.”

Slugs and snails actually both belong to the same class called gastropods. The name of the class comes from the Greek words gastros, meaning stomach, and podos, meaning foot. Appropriate, don’t you think?

While most gastropods live in water, snails and slugs are the only ones that can also live on the ground. The most obvious difference between these two species is that nails have shells on their back, while slugs don’t.

Other differences include habitat and behavior, but they are largely affected by the fact that snails have shells and slugs don’t. That’s why slugs can fit into narrow places and snails can’t.
